Changes in brain energy metabolism during worker maturation elucidated by pathway analysis of data from brain RNA-seq experiments. Gene expression data from nurse, forager and scout brains were mapped to citrate cycle pathways compiled by the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes. Genes in the tricarboxylic acid pathway (shown) and other energy metabolism pathways were predominantly upregulated in foragers and scouts brains relative to nurses. Solid lines indicate the predicted enzymatic reactions catalyzed by the product of each gene and dotted lines indicate indirect links to other metabolic pathways. ACLY: ATP citrate (pro-S)-lyase; ACO: aconitate hydratase; CS: citrate synthase; DLAT: Dihydrolipoyllysine-residue acetyltransferase;DLD: dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase;DLST: dihydrolipoamide succinyltransferase; FH: fumarate hydratase; IDH: isocitrate dehydrogenase; MDH: malate dehydrogenase; OGDH: 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase E1 component; PC: pyruvate carboxylase; PDH: Pyruvate carboxylase; PEPCK:phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase; SDH: succinate dehydrogenase; SUCLA: succinate–CoA ligase(ADP-forming); SUCLG: succinate–CoA ligase (GDP-forming).
